Spoken like true officer. I “disliked” officers in the Navy, and anyone above the rank of O2 was especially a brown nosing, politician. I also understand codes of conduct, but they are worth only as much as the people who adhere to them. There are a great many former military personnel on this board. Every last one of them would go through it again if the country came to call. I am one of them. I completely “dislike” the attitude of so-called superiors such as you. Superior always implied that I was inferior. I really “disliked” that. But I digress. The academies have become a training ground for PC, and elitism. The elitism portion is nothing new, but to be so pompous in defense of a bunch of dorks and dweebs who wrote to their congressman in the hopes that they might, one day, get to boss around a lesser or two? Well, that just strikes me as sad. I know that there are a lot of cadets who honestly want to learn to fly on Uncle Sam’s dime. Who could blame them? But I’d take an Aggie officer over any academy grad. Chances are that he’s been around the block a few times, been in a few compromising positions, drank one too many Shiner Bock’s in Dudley’s, or been in a few barroom brawls. He would be the guy I would trust with my life…every time. To end my rant, I hope we all have a good game; nobody gets hurt, and the Mean Green win. After that, thanks for flying and defending me overseas, if you have indeed been there recently. (No doubt that the chances are high). Maybe we’ll see you in the private sector someday, picketing alongside your AA brethren.
